throwing Bert high in the air. In fall
ing he grasped small board nailed to
the fume and hung suspended fftv
feet from the bottom of the CANYON.
Bert, having but one arm, found him.
self in a dangerous position, and, to
add to his horror, the board he was
hanging to began to break. About
twenty feet below him was a small
platform between the joists, so, Just
as the board gave way, Bert swung
out, let go his hold, and dropped.
He struck the platform, but the re-
bound threw him thirty feet to the
bottom of the canyon, striking on his
shoulder and the side Of his face. He
was stunned for moment, but when
be came to he hurried down the fume
and caught the raft. When twelve
miles from Chico he was again thrown,
but this time he struck in the hume,
with narrow escape from drowning.
AS soon as he got out Bert concluded
that he did not want any more raft
riding, and walked the remaining
twelve miles to town, arriving at 7:30
o'clock.

Whale-Hunting in Extremes.

Arctic whale-hunting is going from
bad to worse. The adversities of re-
cent years have brought about the
crisis in the trade described in the Pail
Mall Gazette month Or two ago, but
there was still q lingering hope that
this season might see q turn in the
tide; and now it seems this season is
the "worst on record" Capt. David
Gray, "the prince of whalers," has
just returned to Peterhead with prob
ably the poorest catch in his forty
years experlence-a single large whale,
yielding about twenty-seven tons of
Oil and over ton of whalebone;
and his two brothers-for the
Grays are g. whaling family
had Jared far worse, one of them hay
ing only five tons of oil and the other
nine. Whalebone is now worth about
91,7OO per ton, and at that price
Capt. David Gray's cargo will clear
the expenses OF the voyage; but in the
other cases the seasons whale-hunt-
ing will result in q very considerable
loss: The Erik Capt. A. Gray has,
by the way, brought home very fine
polar bear, which is at the disposal of
Mr.. Cross or NJ. Jamrach, or the Zoo
logical gardens. It was the second
caught by the crew, the first having
been choked by the lasso. But the
price Of a polar bear will go very
little way indeed to make up the loss
on q long Arctic voyage. There seems
to be nothing for the whalers but to
try their fortunes in the new grounds
in the Antarctic, and leave the Arctic
alone for a. time.

1t Wasn't a Bit Funny,
From the Chico (Cal.) Enterprise

A. G.. Mason left the mills at II
o'clock on q raft in the fume for a
ride to Chico. He expected to make
the trip in three and half hours.
The ride for the first fifteen miles was
novel and grand-scenery as magnif-
cent as any IN the Sierra Nevadas.
But when the raft struck the deep
canyon and mountain gorges, with
the fume stretched along looking like
a silvery thread through the bottom,
the ride began to take on dangers. In
one of the deep cuts the V-box ran on
to board, upending the raft and

Bulgaria Backs Her Chosen Prince q
the Election Polls.


SOFIA, Oct. 1O.-All the government
candidates here are elected. None of
the Radoslavist candidates received
more than twenty votes, and the Zankoff-
lists received only one or two each.
Zankof is elected at Rahova. The re-
suits IN the provinces are favorable to
the government. A crowd of citi-
zens made an enthusiastic demonstra-
ton this evening at the palaces of the
Premier and Prince Ferdinand. The
Prince in speech praised the loyalty
of the people. The Svoboda. says that
the Russo-Turkish negotiations have
been labor in vain, and that it should
be known once for all that Bulgaria will
never be abandoned by the Prince it
has chosen.
The elections for members of the So
branie resulted in the return of 25O gov

HOWTO SELECT GOOD TIM.
BIER.

= . -
Prof. RankiDe says: HThere are
certain appearances which are cllarac
teristic of strong and durable timber,
to what class soeyer it belongs
i. In the same species of timber
that specimen will in general be the
strongest AMI most durable which has
grown the flowest, as shown by the
narrowness of the annual rings.
q The cellular tissue, rs seen in
the medullory rays (when visible),
should be hard and compact.
3. The vascular or fibrous tissue
should adhere firmly together and
and should show no woolliness Mt n
freshly cut surface, nor should it
clog the teeth of the saw with loose
fibres.
4. Ii the wood is colored, dark.
ness color is i'll general a sign of
strength and durability.
5. The freshly>cut surface of the
wood should be firm and shining,
should have somewhat of n translu
cent appearance. a dull, chalky
appearance is sign of dad timber.
6. In wood of given species, the
heaviest specimens are in general the
stronger and the more lasting.
Z. Among resinous woods, those
which have least rosin in their Pores,
and among non resinous woods those
which have least sap or gum in tbem,
are in general the strongest and most
lasting.
8. 1t is stated by somo authors
that in fir wood that which has most
sap wood, and in hard wood that
which has tho least, is tho most dur
nl'le but the universally of this law
is doubtful.
Timber should be FREQ from sucl,
blemishes rs clefts OF cracks radiat
ing from the center; "cup-shalles" or
cracks which partially separate on
nnnular laye from another V upsets,
where the fibres have been crippled
by compression; V "rindgalls," or
wounds in layer of the wood, which
have been covered and concealed by
the growthof subsequent layers over
them, and hollow or spongy places in
the center or elsewhere, indicating
the commencement of decay.-Inaus-

Bread Making.

A barrel of good -four should make
from 27O to 2S5 five cent loaves. Many
bakers blend four brands, as two Mime
sofa springs and two Indiana winters,
before they get the right alloy. Others
use only one grade of spring and
two of winter wheat. These make
the best brands of fancy bread.
Formerly yeast was made of malt,
potatoes and hops, and this is cxten-
sively used. Fancy bread bakers use a
patent yellow compressed yeast. 1t is
popularity supposed that bakers use alum
extensively in order to whiten their
bread. That is not the fact. There is
no necessity for the use of alum, and it is
not used in the trade. There are about
twenty large steam bakeries in New York,
which give employment to several
hundred men. One of these, a noted
Broadway establishment, makes a
speciality of Vienna bread, and does an
immense business. Vienna bread is made
in air tight ovens, of the best grade of
-four, and milk is used instead of water
in mixing the dough. In baking, the
steam settles back on the bread instead
of escaping. This makes the outer crust
thin and tender, and gives the bread
peculiarly rich taste and pleasant aroma:
What is known to the trade as ''steam" |"
bread is another recent invention. 1t IS
made of the very finest of -four and baked
in air tight pans, which inclosc it on all
sides. 1t is thus baked in its own steam,
and possesses flavor peculiarly its own.
One very large bakery in New York IS
devoted solely to the production OF
aerated bread. 1t is steam factory, and
the bread so made is extremely light and
spongy. The invention is an English
one, but has been in use here for years.
When the dough has reached q certain
consistency, it is run into an air tight
cylinder and strongly impregnated with
carbonic acid gas. This creates the
lightness and sponginess without de-
tracing in the slightest from its putri-
tious qualities. Milling World.

one of those great anchors that are used
in man-of-war. One of the fukes was
sticking in the ground, while the other
stuck some twelve or fourteen feet in the
air, and the shank extended out
to one side about fifteen feet. The

this strange piece of machinery. He ex-
amined it on all sides, tried to move it,
and occasionally stared all around the

other object. After a while the yard
officer came around and told him he
would have to leave the yards.
